GANGSTER "Dodgy" Dave Courtney choked back tears last night after his stepson was shot dead - and said: "He was a proper little solja and I was proud of him."
He pleaded for calm as cops feared a tit-for-tat gang war could erupt over the hit on Genson Courtney, 23.
Cagefighter Genson was ambushed on Sunday night as he got into his VW Golf outside the home of his girlfriend Ginny.
Ambushed ... Genson Courtney
He was shot in the head and shoulder and died in hospital early yesterday.
The murder in Greenwich, South East London, is believed to have been ordered by a drugs baron crossed by Genson - suspected of recent robberies on low-level dealers.
Underworld legend Dave, 53, said: "If anyone needed an advert to say crime doesn't pay then let Genson be that advert."
Dave - hardman, writer, actor and the model for Vinnie Jones' character in movie Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - added: "Genson had a lot of friends who are ready to take revenge. I'm trying to keep a lid on that.
"He was a naughty boy but I was proud of him. He was a man's man.
"We were close - and even shared a cell when we were both in jail earlier this year."
Genson's mum Jenny, 42, said at home in Plumstead, South East London: "We're torn to pieces."
